Leak at power steering pump bracket, help
2004 Dodge 1500 5.7 L hemi.
I have a leak that is dripping continuously. It appears to be coming off the bracket between the power steering pump and the reservoir. Is there an O-ring there somewhere that might be bad? If so, can I just change that out?
Otherwise, could it be possible just the reservoirs bad or does that come as one component? When I search for pumps, I am not sure which one to choose? Some come without a reservoir and some come with it included.
I just changed out the water pump and when I was looking to see if it was sealed correctly I noticed this leak. I really need to get this truck back on the road and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am including two videos to help you, help me, figure it out.

That is what I'm going to do. I am getting an aftermarket part because Dodge now has you buying a new pump, reservoir, and adapter bracket. They redesigned the power steering pump and now all of this totals around $850 not including tax. I am getting mine from O'Reillys for about $140.
